It seems to me that poll numbers have been consistently pretty good (with the exception of Michigan on the Democratic side). I mean they nailed New York.
The main issue with polling is if there aren't enough polls done in a state. So you blanket "swing states" with numerous polling outfits and supply the information to the party members.
